Independent: "Climate change has been made the world's biggest priority, with the publication of a stark report showing that the planet faces catastrophe unless urgent measures are taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
Independent: "Average global temperatures have increased by less than 1C since the Industrial Revolution, but they are projected to increase by up to 5C over the coming century if carbon dioxide levels continue to rise without restraint. With each 1C rise in average global temperatures, the Stern Review portrays progressively more serious scenarios."
Independent: "The [Stern] report predicts that 'climate change will reduce crop yields by 10 per cent over the whole of Africa', a catastrophic development in a hungry continent which, even now, is struggling to increase its harvests enough to feed its rapidly growing population. But even this figure, as an average, disguises much greater, more local disasters."
The Stern review.
George Monbiot: "With the publication of the Stern report, the consensus on climate change is clear. Here's what we need to do."
